There are currently 30 active COVID-19 workplace outbreaks in the RMWB.

The majority of these situations continue to be found in the oilsands as Suncor, Syncrude, and CNRL are still dealing with high numbers at multiple sites.

Over half of the outbreaks in the north zone are in the region. Grande Prairie remains the closest as they are also dealing with multiple outbreaks across their county.

According to Alberta Health, the numbers are as follows:

In total, the 27 outbreaks with updated numbers have combined for a total of 4,895 cases with 835 still active.

This is down from the 1,122 that were active one week earlier.

Not all of these cases are updated into the region’s case numbers as fly-in-fly-out workers who test positive but don’t have a local address aren’t added to the RMWB’s case count.

These outbreaks will officially be declared over once they go four weeks without any additional cases.
